Glad to hear that ya'll are doing good! I definitely agree about the second time around- its so different! With my first I had a small touch of PPD, my husband and I were right in the middle of moving, had no idea how to take care of a newborn, etc. This time is just a pure joy, I am literally...

Hey Mary hadn't seen you in a few days and just wanted to check on you! Hows the little one doing? Heather

I second and third what has been said- I too have experienced miscarriage and when I was pregnant with my second son (who just arrived 6/12/06:D ) I was scared and worried about every little twinge, cramp, everything. My doc said the best thing you can do is try to relax b/c its not good for you...

Melanie- great minds think alike!!! Love the name Jayden- mine and DH brothers are both named jason so we wanted something similiar but figured we had enough jasons, so Jayden it is! And we thought it was unique when we named him that, but now are hearing it everywhere!!!! Heather

Congrats! It feels so good to have her here doesn't it? I was excited to get Mekhi out of the house too! We all love having some big babies huh? When my mother in law found out that Mekhi weighed 8 lbs 12 oz she said "ya'll love putting out some whoppers!" but we thought he was small compared to...

Hi everyone! Mekhi is already a week old and to think, I thought he would never get here! He is such a blessing and just completes my life so much more! I have been walking around on cloud 9 since he got here! Well, I don't know if its the breastfeeding or just being up and about but the weight...

Hey everyone! This is my first week postpartum- YAY!!!!!!!!:D If you can't tell I am a little excited!;-) Mekhi was born 6/12/06, weighed 8 lb 12 ozs and was 21 inches but seems so small to me after first son was almost 10 lbs! ALL of his clothes are way to big, even the 0-3. He loves to curl up...

My daddy is a preacher, I've heard these sayings all my life!!!! Heather

Yay Curly! I'm tagging you, you're next!:D Heather

thanks linda! Heather

I remember when I went through this that I was told by my mother and mother in law that later on I would be able to use my experience to help others. It was hard to believe it then, but it is the truth, it is very helpful to have someone that has experienced what you are experiencing to...

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too have been there and know what you are going through and it is very painful (emotionally and physically). I was 13 weeks pregnant and stood up off the couch and started pouring blood. My DH rushed me to the ER and they did an ultrasound and couldn't...

P.s- his name is just something we liked, not a family name but me and DH both come from preachers homes and liked Mekhi (version of Micah) and Isaiah!

So sorry! Meant to post that in the first message because we were so relieved that he wasn't as big as predicted- he weighed 8 lbs 12 ozs and was 21 inches! Big boy still but seems small compared to my first boy! Anyway, thanks for all the kind words! Heather

Hey everyone! Well, on Sunday I finally decided to try castor oil b/c I was just so miserable and ready for baby to be here! My doc had told me that if I hadn't had him by 42 weeks they would start talking about inducing me and guessed the baby was already around 9 1/2 lbs and I just didn't want...

Oh believe me, I have been trying everything known to mankind!!!!!!LOL- evening primrose oil, nipple stimulation, hot showers, walking, fun with the hubby ;-) although I think he is starting to feel used! I know logically that I will be having the baby soon, the thing I am worried about is that...

So I am officially overdue! And we thought I was going early! My husband is military, hence I am going to a military hospital and they do NOT get in a rush to do anything. I am so frustrated! We expected the baby to be here around the 1st- now it is the 9th! I am having contractions every day...

Hey! No I was at the hospital last night- started having contractions (strong, painful, and regular lasting 30-45 seconds about 5-6 minutes apart). By the time we got in the car and made it to the hospital they had all but stopped! I am so frustrated!!!!!!! I timed them for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs b/c I...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give an update- I am full term as of today and still no baby!!!!x( I had a doc appt on tuesday, he stripped my membranes, I had some cramping and contractions but its been 48 hrs now and still no baby! I have done everything I can think of but this baby has a mind of...

I second what morris said- I did KPC up until 38 weeks and was still doing almost the whole thing but listened to my body (not wanting to get overheated, heart rate too high, etc.). I usually felt GREAT afterwards! Heather
